Typing combat for macOS, inspired by Typing of the Dead.

  • SwiftUI
  • SwiftData
  • macOS 15+
  • Apple Silicon

$ man deadshell

Corrupted shell processes claw out of /dev/null and the player clears them by typing their true names. Stage-one vertical slice: gameplay loop is end-to-end and feel-tunable; SwiftData persists profile and run history; the word pool adapts to per-character accuracy.

$ grep -i highlight

  • Adaptive word pool driven by per-character accuracy — drills weak keys
  • Pure SwiftUI + SwiftData, no third-party dependencies, sandboxed file access
  • Locked design doc (DESIGN.md) — gameplay loop frozen before content scaffolding
  • Apple Silicon native, packaged as a single local macOS binary
